Trademark Gospel®

PrincÍpio do Evangelho® de Jesus Cristo, Filho de Deus, is the Portuguese translation of Mark 1:1, “Here begins the gospel of Jesus Christ the Son of God.” João Ferreira translated it in 1884. But in Brazil, you could be in trouble before you even get to the second verse of The Gospel® According to Mark, because the word “Gospel”® is the trademark of Estevam and Sônia Hernandes, “the Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker of Brazil.”
